About Me

My photo
astroimager
United Kingdom
My name is Dr. Steve Wainwright. I am a retired Senior Lecturer in Biological Sciences at Swansea University and have been an astronomer since 1967. I founded the international astronomical imaging group QCUIAG in 1998. My interest is in getting as much as possible out of as little as possible. I am a member of the Swansea, Port Talbot and Barry Astronomical Societies. I am also a member of the Society for Popular Astronomy and the BAA, I am a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and a member of the European Astronomical Society. I also write books, astronomical articles, short-stories and poetry. I also make a little art. I taught astronomy at the University of Swansea in D.A.C.E. evening classes for several years, but am now, largely retired. I give lectures to astronomical societies. For several years I have been working with my partner Nicola on AstroDMx Capture. She is a brilliant programmer and Linux expert. I help with some algorithms, testing and specifications.
